Chapter 463: Chapter 472: Chu Xiaoyao

Chu Xiaoyao’s smile vanished in an instant, and her eyes quickly reddened as she said softly and weakly, "Uncle, do you not like Xiaoyao?"

Li Yifei was startled and quickly said, "How could that be, Xiaoyao is so cute, how could I not like her."

"Then why do you do that kind of thing with Sister Yiyi but not with me? You just don’t like me. Now I don’t even have parents anymore, if Uncle doesn’t want me either, I won’t have anyone to care for me anymore... Sob..."

Li Yifei had been made somewhat sensitive by Chu Xiaoyao these past few days. Seeing that Chu Xiaoyao was about to cry, he hurriedly said, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, how could Uncle not care for you? It’s precisely because I care so much about you that I don’t want you to get hurt."

"You’re lying, you always say that. You just don’t like me anymore, you think I’m a burden and don’t want to take care of me." Chu Xiaoyao said as tears started to roll down her cheeks.

Li Yifei knew that Chu Xiaoyao wasn’t pretending; the girl was just too sensitive at the moment, especially with Su Yiyi around. He was very casual with Su Yiyi, but he always had reservations when it came to Chu Xiaoyao, which is why the girl felt the difference in how he treated them.

Su Yiyi propped herself up and said, "Xiaoyao, don’t cry, Brother Li really likes you a lot, why else would he have brought you back home?"

"No, he doesn’t like me. He just pities me, thinks I’m a child with no parents. He doesn’t actually like me. Sob..."

Su Yiyi gave Li Yifei a meaningful look and said, "How could that be possible? If Brother Li didn’t like you, he wouldn’t sleep in the same bed with you, right? Only the closest people can do that."

Li Yifei gave a wry smile to Su Yiyi, feeling that words were indeed insufficient to appease Chu Xiaoyao. He retracted his left arm and hooked it back over Chu Xiaoyao’s chest. Chu Xiaoyao’s sobbing suddenly stopped; this move was truly effective.

Gently kneading, Li Yifei said, "Do you feel liked now?"

Chu Xiaoyao’s face immediately turned red, and she nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken.

"Xiaoyao, it’s not that Uncle doesn’t like you, it’s just that I’ve been with your Sister Yiyi for a long time, so everything is very casual now. I haven’t known you for as long, so naturally, I can’t be like that."

"Then... can you hurry up?" Chu Xiaoyao gently twisted her body, her breath becoming a bit rapid. Although she, a young girl, understood the matters between men and women, she had never genuinely experienced it. Li Yifei’s true caressing of her sensitive places elicited a very sensitive response.

"Silly girl, this requires a process. To hastily consume you wouldn’t be as meaningful. Let me give you an example. You must have asked your parents for toys when you were little, right?"

Chu Xiaoyao nodded but clearly did not understand why Li Yifei would say this.

"Think about it, if you got what you wanted very easily, wouldn’t you grow tired of it in a couple of days? But if you had to work hard to get it, wouldn’t you cherish it a lot?"

Chu Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and her expression suddenly became distant, making Li Yifei sweat inwardly, wondering why he’d brought up her parents again.

"I remember my favorite toy was a set of Barbie Dolls. We didn’t have much money back then. I wanted to buy it, but my parents were reluctant. I begged for many days, but they didn’t agree. They said if I scored in the top five on the final exams, they would buy it for me. But at that time, my grades weren’t good; I was always around the twentieth place. However, for that Barbie Doll, I studied diligently every day, stopped playing outside, just to get a good score and earn that doll. Finally, in the year-end exams, I got second place in class, and my parents bought me the doll. That doll later didn’t seem to be the best toy, but it was my favorite."

After a pause, Chu Xiaoyao continued, "Back then we were poor, but my parents really loved each other. We never fought at home. But after we got money, my dad started seeing other women, and our home was never peaceful again..."

Feeling Chu Xiaoyao slip back into sadness, Li Yifei let out a soft sigh and said, "Xiaoyao, that’s why Uncle doesn’t want to rush things with you. Uncle has to treasure you like a precious treasure so that I can always like you."

Chu Xiaoyao looked up and forced a smile at Li Yifei, "Uncle, you don’t have to comfort me. Can I really wait for you to pursue me, then refuse you several times before finally agreeing? By then, you would have run off, I’m not that foolish."

Li Yifei’s face turned red at once; the girl was still so clever even at such a time.

"But I also understand what you mean, Uncle. Things that are obtained too easily are never cherished. Like my dad and mom, they’re gone, and only now do I know how important they were to me. Before, I just wanted to leave them, stay far away, to never have to listen to their nagging or their arguing. Now, I feel that if I could hear them quarreling by my ear, listen to my mom nagging behind me, that would be so happy."

Chu Xiaoyao muttered, causing both Li Yifei and Su Yiyi to feel quite heavy-hearted.

Chu Xiaoyao buried her face in Li Yifei’s shoulder and said softly and weakly, "Uncle, now you are my closest person. My parents have left me, and I couldn’t stop them. But if you leave me too, I’ll truly be all alone, and I won’t want to live anymore."
